Our Third Annual Veterans Gratitude Week has been a big success because of YOU.

“Never underestimate the difference you can make in the lives of others.Step forward, reach out and help. This week reach to someone that might need a lift” ― Pablo

So many of you have demonstrated your love and commitment to our Veterans this last week. We are incredibly grateful that you supported an event to help our Warriors! Veterans Gratitude Week consisted of more than 425 classes and events across 46 states, attended by thousands of veterans and civilians alike!There are over 65 free yoga programs being taught by VYP-trained teachers in VA Medical Centers, Veteran Centers, Residential Treatment Centers, VFW’s, yoga studios and elsewhere in our communities. This would not be possible without your support. From the bottom of our hearts, thank you!We truly value your time & energy to make Veterans Gratitude Week successful and invite you to view a few words of our deep appreciation. Blessings and Gratitude,Dr. Daniel Libby, Executive DirectorDeb Jeannette, Board President​

"Even today I would so enthusiastically say all the same things and MORE because the introduction to yoga you all gave us at that retreat has literally changed my life for the better Deb. It's been months on, and not only am I happily practicing yoga at a great studio with an amazing teacher, but the physical, mental and spiritual sense of restoration and reawakening possibilities have done more to boost my confidence, joy, and optimism than all the drugs & counseling the VA's given me for 18 months. I've slowly been losing weight, trying to learn about nutrition & cooking to eat cleanly, walking with Anya almost daily, and even begun working out with weights again to strengthen my body against the pain. When I walk Anya or think alone I often meditate on the implications of yogic philosophy & spirituality on my life, especially Ahimsa and the idea that restoration of life in body and spirit IS possible for those like me.So thank you!!!!!" ~Matthew Getz, Veteran (Montana Retreat, 2015)
